194001762 - E7060 TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM - DESCRIPTION

The tyre pressure monitoring system consists of:- 4 RF pressure sensors located inside the tyre on the wheel rim;- 4 sensors fitted on each wheel arch;- 1 RF management and reception electronic control unit in the passenger compartment.The pressure sensors continuously monitor the correct inflation of the tyres: if a fault or a loss in pressure is detected, the sensor transmits a message via RF to the receiver control unit.The control unit sends the Body Computer, via the serial line, the information relating to the pressure and the monitoring of the system; the Body Computer, in turn, forwards these signal via the CAN allowing the display in the instrument panel of signals relating to: general failure warning light and signalling system failures and insufficient tyre pressure in the display.The control unit supply lines are protected by fuses in the junction unit under the dashboard.
